TLDR
An efficient way to denoise bivariate data like height fields, color pictures or vector fields, while preserving edges and other features is presented, which generalizes previous anisotropic diffusion approaches in image processing, and is applicable to data of arbitrary dimension.Abstract:
In this paper, we present an efficient way to denoise bivariate data like height fields, color pictures or vector fields, while preserving edges and other features. Mixing surface area minimization, graph flow, and nonlinear edge-preservation metrics, our method generalizes previous anisotropic diffusion approaches in image processing, and is applicable to data of arbitrary dimension. Another notable difference is the use of a more robust discrete differential operator, which captures the fundamental surface properties. We demonstrate the method on range images and height fields, as well as greyscale or color images.

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion
Pietro Perona,Jitendra Malik +1 more
TL;DR: A new definition of scale-space is suggested, and a class of algorithms used to realize a diffusion process is introduced, chosen to vary spatially in such a way as to encourage intra Region smoothing rather than interregion smoothing.

Implicit fairing of irregular meshes using diffusion and curvature flow
TL;DR: Methods to rapidly remove rough features from irregularly triangulated data intended to portray a smooth surface are developed and it is proved that these curvature and Laplacian operators have several mathematically-desirable qualities that improve the appearance of the resulting surface.
